The only sense I had going into this painting was that the background would be blue, that the center wanted to look like a window, and that the asymmetrical section and the wide ring around the center would be warmish colors. The whole thing just fell into place as I jumped in with painting it.
For this painting, I used M. Graham and Golden acrylics paint, and Golden iridescent paints on Canson’s mixed media paper, enhanced it with a micron #1 black marker and uni-ball signo white pens.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
